Hi all, here is a work in progress.(excuse poor photos) This is ACModels 30cal MG gunner 1/12. I have added a pic of the original kit by Andy for comparison. please not the changes I have made are to create something slightly different rather than being neccessary. Firstly I have altered the stance, straightening the pose and moving one leg back a little to aid extra detailing on inside of boots/gaiters this was a little sparce due to restrictions in sculpting the two legs close together. I changed the trousers to the heavy battledress version and removed arms at shirt sleeves to aid painting and positioning of the 30 cal. the face was altered to give a cheeky smile and also nose etc to portray his ethnic heritage, I'm not convinced I have the complextion right yet so advice is welcome. more progress pics as work progresses. cheers Les

Hi Les, looking very good. Look forward to see him in the flesh soon.

Interesting reworking Les & you are once again creating a new impression of this kit.
Face tones look good from this angle too.

Stay safe

Thanks Mike, I generally like to make at least some changes to a figure to either fix something or add some point of difference.thanks for your comments. Les

Thanks Alan' hope to get more pics up after this weekend, as it looks like weather to stay indoors. I won't be over for this year's QMHE unfortunately' but John Belcher and Andy are going over I believe. Cheers Les
